Build a Pyramid
Your argument should be structured like a pyramid, with the point on top, and
supporting detail spreading out below. The subject line should state your
recommendation. The first section should be an executive summary of the major
issue and your conclusions or recommendations. You want to ensure that the reader
understands the recommendation after a 30-second reading. The end of the memo
should tell your clients what action steps they, and others, will need to take.
